Throttle body

[sxc_sound]

Hey, iv been looking around at some small engine mods i can do, and these performance throttle bodys 80mm caught my eye. Are these worth the money? what sort of power gains would you expect from one?

With no other mods to your car, then the potential gain would be about zero.
The stock throttle body is adequate enough with a stock car. Also I have read that machining it out more than 69mm can make the walls too thin and it can break.
I have got a 69mm throttle body and all it really did was mess with the shift points, damn annoying too. Had to get it fixed when I got it tuned.

like any mods always best tuned.
you probly wont see any power gains even with other mods, but you will get better throttle response
